Braver PC, a regional accounting firm with offices in Providence and Needham, Mass., merged its accounting, business strategies and valuation services divisions with national accounting and advisory firm Marcum LLP effective Jan. 1, the New York-based company announced Monday.

Two other Braver divisions – Braver Wealth Management LLC and Braver Technology Solutions LLC – were not included in the merger and will continue to operate as independent entities, according to Marcum spokeswoman Julie Gross Gelfand.

Fourteen Braver PC partners and more than 100 employees – all of those who worked within the three merged divisions – have joined Marcum. No staff reductions or relocations resulted from the merger, Gelfand said, and the employees who have joined Marcum will continue to work from their current offices in Providence and Needham.

Raffa - Marcum's Nonprofit & Social Sector Group's strength and competitive edge lies in the fact that we provide expertise and superior service across a variety of essential interrelated financial, technology and consulting competencies.

Marcum LLP and Hofstra University’s Frank G. Zarb School of Business have joined forces to survey the nation’s business leaders about their outlook on the business environment, their short-term plans for growth and investment, and their perspective on selected business or news developments.

Marcum LLP is one of the largest independent public accounting and advisory services firms in the nation, with offices in major
business markets throughout the U.S., as well as Grand Cayman, China and Ireland.
